Here is the highly-anticipated 4G Nokia 3310, the only feature phone you'll need

It's no surprise that HMD Global wants to launch a 4G version of the Nokia 3310. Since the 2G model wouldn't work in all countries, HMD released the 3G Nokia 3310, which is available in the United States as well but to cover even more markets a 4G model is absolutely necessary.

However, a much better Nokia 3310 that will feature 4G support will be launched next year. The feature phone was recently certified at TENAA, the Chinese regulatory commission, which suggests we might not have to wait too long for the device to go official.

There are no differences between the other two Nokia 3310 models and the upcoming one, except for the fact that the latter comes with 4G support. Design-wise they look just about the same, according to the pictures filed by HMD Global at TENAA.

The 3G Nokia 3310 was launched in the United States for $60, but the 4G variant might be priced a bit higher. Still, the 4G Nokia 3310 will remain a cheap feature phone, probably below the $80 price mark.

Why not? Some networks have dropped their 2G networks. At least using this phone means that you should have better service?

At this point it's so obvious HMD is desperate to milk the cow they are riding. Pointless, given this phone cost a cow !

i saw some leaks at Nokiamob, this phone will have yunos (android fork), so probably it will run android apps.

I hope it has better connection on T-Mobile then the 3G one. That one was so bad I had to return it.

It may be a Nokia problem. I bought the 6 at launch. One of the most beautiful pieces of hardware I've ever held in my hand. The radio quality was utter garbage. Returned the first for another in the hopes that it was just defective...unfortunately not.

It would be slightly more compelling if they pre-installed WhatsApp on to the phone

I need a phone like Nokia e6 with 4g and if it is with symbian os it'll be great phone to fans and users But one thing Nokia should concentrate on cameras because compare with old Nokia cameras to new Nokia camera are really very poor quality even my Lumia 730 camera is just 6.7 mp and new Nokia 6 camera is 16mp but clarity is very bad to compare In New Nokia not having my loved old Nokia quality except build quality... Please consentrate in cameras and performance

Hey, smartphone manufacturer HMD Global!! Whichever smartphone you produce, please, add CDMA 800 MHz, not only GSM 900/1800 MHz!! I read reviews of new smartphones, such as Nokia 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, feature phones, such as Nokia 3310 (2017) and so on, but none of them support CDMA 800 MHz, which I can use on Perfectum`s network in Uzbekistan!! We missed Nokia 6275i!! cdma.uz

Sorry to say, they will never do that. Because they have to pay royalty for CDMA tech to Qualcomm. The number of pure CDMA networks are decreasing faster and CDMA is almost a dead technology in many countries. So why will Nokia pay royalty and add CDMA support?
